BREVITIES. Olympia oysters are very |>opular in Portland now. They are very good and quite cheap The Netarts oysters are the same and there is no reason w by we can’t enjoy them in Tillamook The oyster fads of Netarts bay should fa cultivated. P ortland M arket , April 13—Oats 45 cts., potatoes $1.25 to $1.50 per sack, chickens $5.50 and upwards, eggs 17 els., lard 15 and 16 cts , bacon 13 and 14 cts., hams 16 cts., flour $3 30; butler, brine, 25 to 30 i ts. per roll, choice dairy 40 to 45 cts. Those who have claims 011 Wilson river that are covered by timber filings should go to work in earnest to fight for their rights. Of course the settier has the advantage, but it will take some hard fighting to secure justice in many instances. We are informed from reliable Sources that Kelso, B. C., about which there is such excitineut, is greatly overdone, anil that hundreds are crowding that locality only to find they cannot find work. In- experiem:ed people should beware of mining boom localities. The mail carrieis state that the mail sacks are very heavy as they carry the mail from this place to North Yamhill on Fridays. This is the day the H ead light goes out, and they have no com plaint about a heavy outgoing mail on other days. The carriers in the county notice the same thing on that day. Reginald DcKoven’s new waltz, which one hears played on so many pianos nowadays, has proved so popular with young women tliat a second edition of the April Ladies Home Journal, contain ing the music, has been found necessary, the first edition of the magazine consist ing of 709,000 copies Whether or not the creameries succeed li^re, they are productive of one good thing. Fanners are taking greater interest in dairying mid are equipping I heir dairies with modern appliances. Many of them are beginning to make tests and ex)«r- iments as to the amount of butter that can be made from a given quantity of milk. Rob Hicks Mill locate you on valuable timber or agricultural lands, and at a reasonable price Mr. Hicks is a resident 01 this county and does a legitimate bus iness. He Ims no connection with the timber sharks that have been operating in this viciuity. His residence is 011 Wilson river, but his post-office address is Tillamook City. What is the use to send to Portland to get printing done w hen just as good work can be done, and just as cheap, here at home? This is seldom done, ill fact the case we have in mind now is the only instance of the kind we know of. In every branch of business it pays to patronise home industry and home bus iness men w hen the articles wanted call be obtained here, though the price s should be a little higher. There are various cranberry marshes along the coast districts between the southern line of Oregon and the gulf of St. George, The Nehalem aectlon of the Tillamook coast has been noted among liaal residents for its cranberries; and from just north of the Columbian river, in the Shoalwater bay country, barrels and barrels of the favorite fruit find their way into the markets of the world every season.—Corvallis • Inzette. The work cf putting the steamer South Coast on ways is progressing ns Inst as possible under the circumstances, and it is thought she will be ready to be launched in about ten days. She has been moved about 225 feet higher on the beach so the carpenters can have a better chance to work at her. A large force of men are at work on her now, and all of Tillamook is exjiected to turn out and help the day she is launched. J. W. Johnson, of Hembree, was in the city to-uay. The new road from Saud Lake to the Maxwell road at l’esterfield’s is completed ami Mr. Johnson came over it in a wagon. The new roan is good and is not muddy. It saves the |>eople of Sand Lake nearly 25 miles in coming to Tillamook as they had to go via Woods before. It is only eight mileslrom Fester field's to Sand Lake, and about three miles of the distance was opened fur travel just recently. A few days ago a young son of Mr. Barney was struck ill Hie eye by a small fay named Bozley. The wound made was very painful and came near destroy- ing Barney’s eye It is probable that the Bosley boy will be arrested. The city marshal is on the look-out for boys that throw stones, and some youngster is likely to find himself in jail one of these days. A liberal and vigorous ap plication of "strap” would be a good thing for some of the malefactors. We repeat it, never before have there been so many inquiries regarding Tilla mook. This office is overrun with letters of inquiry from all parts of the United States, and from people we never heard of before We can’t see how so many found out there is such a place as Tilla mook. A recent experience has shown us that there is also a great deal of interest taken in this place by the people of Portland and other parts of Oregon. Let the good work go on. If we cun get enough people here and get them to pro ducing something, it will not be long until we have a railroad. Every man who has credit enough to buy or borrow a handful of type now is going out into the woods to start a news paper, and they are mostly Democratic in anticipation of getting a few timber notices. Some of them haven’t even got any type, but get their sheets printed at some print shop. The Glenora Gazette, the Trask Tribune, and the Folley Press, will soon make their appearance. Of course, this is right; the old established papers should not have the patronage. It should be given to these chickadee sheets! But we have a counter scheme. We are going to start a paper at the N W corner of the N W. tj" of sec. 5, 3 N, 8 W, also one lit the North Fork of the South Fork of the North Fork of the South Fork of Trask river, and by this we expect to have the Land Office business pretty well corralled If this doesn’t hold it down we'll move the papers around like threshing machines to each man's claim. Of course these pa|ierswill be Republican until there is a change in the Land Office, after which they will Ire violently Democratic. There ate a few people in this country who seem bent on stirring up all the old factional lights that ever existed here. The aforesaid parties devote their whole time to the business. One newspaper was started and nurtured not because it was needed, (and surely not because it would pay) but to injure the H eadlight if |s,ssiide. Not being effectual, another one emanated from the same source. We haven’t read the othei pa ;ier very closely, and really don't know or care what it says or has said, and have not thought it worth rending or answering We under stand its sole purpose is to publish abusive screed regarding the editor of the H ead - L ight and other citizens of Tillamook. Well, when these people think they have punished the H eadlight enough for being here, we hope they will quit satisfied. As far as we are concerned we are not making any peisonal fights, and of course we cannot afford logo into a tight with |M'ople of the character alluded to If we were so disposed, we might publish n blackmailing sheet in tins office, giving it a name that would take the responsibility off t tie H eadlight , and start in to abuse onr neighbors. No doubt we could rake up some very un pleasant facts regarding our enemies, and we might make it very warm for some people, even if we adhered to the truth in every particular But, this is not the mission of a newspaper, and besides, we realize that our financial interests would suffer should we even allow a black mailing and scandal mongering sheet to be issued in our office, though we dis avowed any responsibility fi r its utter ances. Suppose we should announce that a regular brimstone sheet would be issued frvtn thia office! No doubt some people who are pleased to style themselves enemies of this paper would feel a little insecure, but on the other hand some of our friends would become disgusted. We look at it this way: Those who are so bitter in their abuse of this paper would uot be of anv help to it if they were friends In fact their friendship is of no value and their enmitv of no harm They should go uniiotned by decent people aud not lai heroized even by the scum, as cheap notoriety is all they ask.

Any and all questions will be answered by Dan Bowers who is editor of thetpiery Department: Who is to blame for the recent con tinued wet spell? J. B.—Ans. B. 8. Pague, weather clerk. Who was Pierre llelyot and is he dead? College Boy.—Ans. See page 643, Vol. XI, Encyclopcedia Britannica. I send you a specimen of a plant which I found grow ing iu my garden What is it? Housewife —Ans. It is Trf/lfurw recuriatum, and I would advise you uot to mix it with your greens When gather ing table fodder you may slum this vile weed by the following distinguishing marks: Low stem, tuber-like root stock, bearing a whorl of three uetted-veined ovate or rhomlsiidal leaves and a terminal flower in spring. The leaves are gener ally narrowed at the base into a petiole, sepals reflexed and pointed petals Some times the flower is raised on a peduncle and the leaves sessile. Look out for it! George persists in kissing me. We are engaged, but I tell him to wait until we are married. What shall I do? Cynthia. —Ans. D_>n’t allow him to kiss you, my dear girl, until a few weeks after you are married. When I was a young man I never w as so rude as to take such liberties. What is the difference between the upper tens and lower fives? Bessie.—Ans. The spondulix necessary to buy good clothes or the gall to get them on credit. What avocation would you advise a bright young farmer’s boy to follow? Plow Boy.—Ans Banking. How shall I make my new spring gown? Sarah.—Ans. Well, that depends. If it is the only gown you will have for Sunday wear, make it a la princess, with a touch of polnaise 011 the gables. You might run in a few tucks and frills on the cornice, but I'd use a plaid sash and a corded front, with goring sleeves Be sure to put on plenty of buttons, as that is the style, and don’t forget to leave plenty of slack in the skirt, as the crin oline is likely to be here before you wear your dress out. Would you advise a young man of ambitious nature, refined intellectual qualities and literary tastes to go to sea? Student.—Aus. Yes. Mr. Bowers, please give us your ideas of ball room etiquette. Youngbloods.— Ans. Never enter the dance hall with spurs on your boots, and if you have calks in your boot heels, go to the black smith and get them removed before the dance. Leave your gunsand knives in the cloak room. Teething infants should be left in the cloak room also. In case of a hot corn, it is net in good form to remove your boots to pure it before the ladies. Don’t take your coat off to dance Never jump higher than three feet when balanc ing on the corner, and take your hands out of your pocket« when you swing. It doesn't show good breeding to slide setose the floor to ask a lady to assist you in the dance. Don’t put your feet on your partner’s lap. Il is not safe to substitute tallow for the fiddler’s rosin. Don’t fight the floor manager if you are lelt out at ladies choice, and at an invi tation ball it is not good fotm to dance every set if you had no invitation to come. Don’t swear loud before the ladies. If these precepts are followed Horn Creek society will be greatly improved. My lover has proved untrue. How will I win him Hack? Nellie.—Ans. Get another fellow, and ifthat doesn't bring him back he isn’t worth trying for What is the pro|»er time to harvest dams? C. R.—Ans. When the tide isout. The Price of Salama. E d . H eadlight .—I see that the Columbia river fishermen are demanding $1.15 a piece for chiuook salmon, and that the cannery meu declarethat is more than they can pay at the present prices of canned goods. It looks as if there is danger of killing the goose that lays •heir golden eggs, still if the canneries can fa run at that figure lhe fishermen are right in trying to get it. But this is a feature of the business that takes away all the sympathy of a Tillamooker. These same fishermen will come down here iu August and cut under our own people, and compel them to fish for starvation wages. A Tillamook boy is uot allowed to fish for Columbia river salmon at a dollai a piece, but a C R. F. U. dago will come her and catch a fish just as good and a little larger for 25 or 30 cents. There is a screw I oohc somewhere in this management. II Improvements at Tillamook. Captain Symons, United StateB engi- neer, who lias the work under liis charge, will begin the constructing of dikes for the improvement of the channel at the head of Tillamook bay next week. There are several rivers—the Trask, the Wilson arid the Tillamook—entering the bay at that point, swift mountain streams, which bring down a great deal of sedi ment, and so render it difficult to keep open for steamboat navigation the channel leading to Tillamook city. The dikes are to be put in to contract the channel and cause lhe current to wash out the bars formed and soon the adventurous sailor on his way to Tillamook city will be free from the terrors of Oxbow bend and Dry stocking bar.—Oregonian. The remark regarding Oxbow bend shows how little Capt. Symons knows about the needs of Tillamook Go to Williams for drugs. fq Fishing tackle cheaper than ever at Letcher’s.

Abcrdeen Bull f<»r Sale. A gentleman writing from Nehalem re marks in his letter: “i think instead of ill will between Tillamook and Nehalem, fostered for years, harmony and united actiou should prevail.” We think the gentleman has a mistaken idea, as we never heard anyone here or anywhere else speak an ill word of Neha lem, aud we have never heard an ex pression of jealousy regarding that place. On the other hand the people here speak in praise of Nehalem and herpeople, and generally believe that the prospects for the future of that place are very bright.
